re: Any clues as to how she got it?

She doesn't know, but I'm sure it came through e-mail. Parents these days just can't be trusted with computers. 2 weeks ago my wife's niece was spending the weekend at my wife's parents house. 1 day of internet usage turned their computer into steaming pile. They had the money and the computer was 7 years old, so I helped them buy a new computer online rather than try to fix it. One of these days I'm supposed to go over and transfer their data from the old to the new as well.

With my mom's my time is probably better spent just reinstalling everything on a new drive. Spyware and Virus's have evolved so nasty lately its not even worth trying anymore.

Nobody touches my computer, and I only let trusted friends use my wife's. When my kids get old enough to surf the net, I'm going to have to do some serious research on locking down their login.
